Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0458555A2] A data processing system including an automated storage library (1) for which the management thereof is transparent to a requester is disclosed. A system controller in the library provides the internal management of the library. To access a file in the library, a requester need only specify to the system controller the volume on which the file is located, permitting the use of a standard file access method for a single peripheral storage device. A path format which is the same as that used for a single, peripheral storage device, except that the peripheral storage device designator is replaced with a designator (35) for the automated storage library (1) and a volume label (36) is inserted as a subdirectory path element. The system controller determines, independently of the data processing system, which peripheral storage device a data storage medium is to be mounted in. <IMAGE>
